I just downloaded the win32 version of mame since I heard that it
worked correctly.
I found that I can now use the 2nd gun "BUT" I have to calibrate it so
it does not see the entire screen then shoot near the bottom right
corner to reload.
With the 1st player gun I can point at the floor or anywhere away from
the screen and it reloads just fine. It's pretty annoying that the 2nd
player Has to point at the corner of the screen. Is this something that
can be fixed? With the troubleshooter I can reload with the 2nd gun
just fine...
Thanks,
Jeremy Skeels

Maybe I am doing something wrong...
Using the current command line version of MAME
1. I Enabled Offscreen Reload.
2. I Emabled Dual Gun Support
3. I Start a game, Area 51, Maximum Force, Ect...
4. I Map the Games Button 1 for each player to Each Guns Trigger.
5. I Calibrate each gun.
I then start the game and I can shoot with both but if I aim the 2nd
gun away from the screen it doesn't reload it just fires a bullet.
Gun 1 workes fine..
Can you post a copy of your Mame.ini file and your game.ini file so I
can see where my glitch lies...
Thanks,
Jeremy

Note: That's Dual TV guns, not dual PC guns. Dual PC guns might work in Windows 98, but for Win XP, you still need MAME Analog Plus.
It appears that the off-screen reload doesn't work for the Player 2 gun though, so I'll have to look into that. Other games that don't require off-screen reloading (e.h. Police Trainer, Zero Point, etc.) should work fine though.

If I have some time over the weekend, I'll see if I can do anything about the off-screen reload. Now that I've had a look under MAME's hood, I can't resist a little more tinkering. :-)
Awesome, I just got back from a trip and had the chance to try it out. It works great!
I also downloaded the new version of mame as well, dual lightguns work now but offscreen reload for gun #2 doesn't making it pretty much usless still... Guess I can't have it all :-(
LOL, Thanks for the update to HOTD3!

If you have the HD space just make a virutual drive. Then you never need to try and find a crack. Your computer will think that it has a bunch of CD drives tho. That is what I use.

As for your other suggestions, I actually have started an experimental key remapping project. I plan to merge it into the Troubleshooter eventually. I even thought about a "quit" key function. Seems we think alike, you and I.
As you probaly guessed from my previous posts I run all my lightgun games on a dedicated mame cabinet. The problem with that is I have to move a 300+ pound monster out if I want to access the CD rom inside. My solution is to install all the games via a wireless network and then get a no cd crack from gamecopyworld.com so I don't need the cd in the drive to play.
This has worked flawlessly for me up untill now. If I use the cracked exe file for HOTD3 troubleshooter does not work. It works fine with the original however if I have the CD in the drive.
Would it be hard to add support for the no cd version of this game?
Also one more suggestion, for dedicated cabinet gamers like myself. Would it be hard to include a function to remap the games buttons to ones that are available on the cabinet so I don't have to pull out the keyboard to start the game or navigate the menues.
Another great feature would be the ability to set an exit game key (Excape) so no matter what game you are playing you can exit out instantly with one button.
Currently I use command line wrappers from http://www.oscarcontrols.com/lazarus/ they let me terminate whatever program I launch with them with the excape key. I like to completly avoid a keyboard & mouse if possible on my cabinet.
I think you could open up a whole new audience for the troubleshooter by integrating some of the above features.
Currently I run MameWah as the menu program for my mame cabinet. It allows you to set up different emulators or programs that can be launched using the joysticks & buttons that are on your cabinet. When the game/program exits it goes right back to the menu. It also hides windows completly so it really looks like you are playing on an arcade game not just
a computer running an emulator.

Well, I finally gave in and downloaded the latest MAME source code, and set up a build environment, etc...
I have good news, and better news.
The good news is that MAME has not dropped support for dual lightguns. It's just a bug in the more recent code that causes MAME to ignore the second gun in Windows XP (I think it might still work in Windows 98). But aside from that one bug, the rest of the code required to handle dual guns is all still there.
The better news is that I've fixed the bug and submitted my fix to the MAME team. I don't know if they'll accept my fix, or when it will be merged into the core. But it's on its way. If all goes well, the dual TV lightguns will work again in future releases.
It seems mame has simply dropped support for the act labs TV guns. Is it even possible to make thetroubleshooter support mame, at least so us TV gun users didn't waste our money buying two guns??
I paid almost $300.00 for my pair (Yeah, I know act labs is making them again) on ebay and only one works with any remotly recient version of mame.
I know you would be the savior to tons of mame cabinet owners that got suckered in to buying 2 tv guns..

Sorry for the delay. My computer was out of service for a few days. But I finally figured out what the problem is. I'm guessing you have two TV guns, correct? It seems that Sega decided to map Mouse Button 3 (which the TV Light Gun reports for the trigger when set for Player 2) as a Start button.
It might take a bit of effort on my part to get this worked out. Sorry! I'll try to have an update soon.
Still having same problem - I checked the key assignments and they are set to default; but still pauses game when player 2 fires. Player 2 reload works fine.
Sorry to keep bugging you, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Jon,
Still having same problem - I checked the key assignments and they
are set to default; but still pauses game when player 2 fires. Player
2 reload works fine.

Installed new troubleshooter and am having a problem.
Player 1 works fine, but player 2 when you pull the trigger instead of shooting, it pauses the game. Do I need to change the keyboard mapping for the game or am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all your hardwork.
PS. tried it with HOTD2 (Xplosiv) and still works great.
